Healing starts with truth...
Catching The Wind is only the second Melanie Dobson book that I've read, but oh WOW oh WOW! This beautiful, heart-wrenching, wonderful story of loss, love, sacrifice, of hope regained, and picking up the pieces is sure to take readers on an emotional ride.
I will admit that, at first, I had a hard time with the multi-perspective layout of the story. But that quickly changed when I realized how Melanie Dobson was using it to so richly layer the story, so that readers were able to get a complete view of the dramatic and heart-breaking events. It really didn't take me long to be so completely absorbed that I no longer noticed. I just had to keep going, to find out if my wild imaginings could be true, if things would turn out in the end.
I really can't say enough about this multi-faceted story. Very rarely do I run into a book where I feel completely self-satisfied as I turn that last page, but Catching The Wind did that for me. The author's exquisite attention to detail, the rich layering, the depth of each character, left me feeling as if I was right there alongside the characters, experiencing everything with them.
A book and an author that highly recommend! If you love historical fiction Melanie Dobson's newest, Catching The Wind, is a jewel you won't want to miss!
